A cow found a way to survive, but many many cows died.

 

This is what it really looks like when the water goes down. The stench of sewerage through everything.

 

The water moves with such force and speed that everything ends in a murky jumble.

 

I lived in these flats in Brunswick Heads for 10 years .. every flat lost everything!

 

Lismore library .. Workers threw the filthy books out from the second story windows, into his massive stinking pile.

 

The face of trauma ....

This tradesman's vehicle was swept down a hill in a landslide,
and ended up in the creek buried under the tons of rocks
that came down with the mudslide, in Main Arm.
